Hadrians Wall, started 122 AD ? I'm assuming we are in the UK John ? and not in my favourite place in the whole world the Colosseum in Rome ? AD 72 to 80.

The military HQ can still be seen below the Minster, the Roman Baths can be seen under the aptly named Roman Baths Pub. A portion of the city wall also remains. |

I know there was big fort there near to where the crooked spire stands today. |
